Kapitel 177: Closing door

While Gabriel was revealing potentially life changing bits of information, Nero was listening. But only a very small part of his brain was paying attention. His larger focus was on something else entirely.

It would be too much to call it a crisis, but he was experiencing a fair bit of turmoil in his mind.

If what he suspected was true, then it wasn't even the fact that Radix Augmentation had been leaked or someone suspected its existence which had caused his family to be targeted. Rather, it was someone eliminating competition for this, or any other Vaults that might exist in Lumina.

How long ago had Patrick been sentenced? Almost two and a half years now. How long ago was Lumina revealed? Much, much later. Or was its existence revealed long ago, but it had been kept hidden?

There were too many unknowns. Even with Nero speculating as liberally as he was, he could not create speculations out of thin air. They had to be tied in with real facts.
